lyrics
(First Verse)
l finally got to make the call, at 2 AM She smiles hello on the other end. She's
Half a world away Her voice is clear. she calls out "Kids' It's Dad" , I'm holding back the tears.
I said "Babe, last time we talked You know we got cut off. . . . So before we say another word
(Chorus)
Let's start with I love you , it's what I really want to say.
There's so much that we need to share. So much that just can't wait,
But if we get disconnected, or something else goes wrong my dear.
Let's Start with "I Love You". It's what I really need to hear.
(Second Verse)
She said' God yeah, you know I love ya too. In this mixed up life, there's only you"
The last time you deployed, thought my heart would break.
but I want you to know, we're doin' okay.
The boys're popping wheelies, and the baby cut a tooth.
Next time you call, I'll know just what to do. We'll
(Chorus)
Start with I love you, It's what I really want to say. There's so much that we need to share.
Yeah, and sometimes I'm afraid
But if we get disconnected, Or if something else goes wrong, my dear. Let's
Start with I Love you, It's what I really need to hear. .
I lose the call, it's just after 2. The morning here is quiet, I whisper, "I love You".
